where you are importing goods from here in Sydney customs let me clear my first 2 shipments I filled out all the relevant forms and paid the gst and import duties then they give you back forms to take to transport and pick up goods. then 3rd shipment they decided that they wanted me to use customs agent said I had to pay the fees then return after the weekend to collect goods, I did not want to take that option then I would have incur storage costs at Patricks, customs then advised if I used a broker would be given the paperwork that day, so luckily one of our friends drives for a freight forwarder and we got the goods cleared.
